Those BLASTED ACADEMICS

start today.

Heaven help all involved, please.

Actually, beginning academics with my oldest (he’s dual enrolled at home and at the local Jr. High) isn’t such a bad thing. I think that he will like what we’re going to do. This year he will maintain a blog as part of his curriculum. We’ll continue to work on writing. So, we’ll do both the kind that is fun for him — like writing screenplays — and also work on taking dictation. We’ll be doing math, also, including fractions, time, and money. And then there’s going to be signature practice, hiking, cooking, reading comprehension and a whole lot of other things. One of our first goals will be scheduling and time management. He really, REALLY needs to understand this better. Because, the benevolent planet that he hails from, well, the folks from there don’t care about it very much.

Onward, with buster #1.
